Ingredients
- 3 1/2 pound chicken, cut into 10 serving pieces
- Essence, recipe follows
- 1 tablespoon flour

Directions
In a mixing bowl, toss the chickens with Essence and flour. In a large heavy pot, heat the olive oil. When the oil is hot, brown the chicken for 6 to 8 minutes on each side. Add the rhubarb and onions. Season with salt and pepper. Stirring constantly, wilt and brown the onions, scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen any brown particles, for about 10 minutes. Add the garlic, herbs and wine, cover and reduce the heat. Stir occasionally and cook for about 45 minutes or until the chicken is tender. Stir in the parsley. Arrange the chicken on a platter and garnish with Essence and parsley and serve with rice.

I too found this recipe while looking for something other than baked goods recipes for rhubarb. Wow! The flavor is an unexpected delight and the gelatinous nature of the rhubarb makes this one of the best sauces, both in texture and how it adheres to the chicken, I have ever had. I belong to a vegetable co-op that always provides an abundance of rhubarb, so I freeze it so I can make this dish again and again over several months.

I found this when I was trying to come up with something new to do with rhubarb. We used chicken thighs and the meal was loved by everyone - even our 2 and 4 year old kids! We then sent it to family and now it has become a family favorite!
